Self Care

Self Care ~ some do this on different days Fri. is mine this week. I did that after my quiet time. It was good to read in my new Bible a New Testament.

I did my hair and I cut it too. I was a beautician and do this every couple of months so it turned out well. I am happy about that. I have my natural color went to that last summer so it is good to not have hair grow out. I did my nails as best I could, after gardening and moving filing cabinets they were a mess.

I walked the dog after lunch and that helped to get my hair dry. I am glad I can do this after errand day yesterday. I did get to the office and did a couple of rounds in there.

Getting through what needs to be shredded a small basket at a time feels great because I could breathe a sigh of relief. I listened to a helpful podcast with encouraging words while I did that. Counting this because of the encouraging words I heard and getting the clutter out helps me feel so much better.

I found some cute idea for office storage and new design ideas for decor and organizing things in the office is great. I am putting my craft stuff in one desk and dresser. That is helpful and timely. I got a floral box to put some items in, others are colorful that helps to brighten the space. I have tea trays for scissors tape and other odds and ends in for now I can put that together. The table I am using is not a desk and I will figure that out later. I have one I can bring upstairs for now I need to be able to see stuff.

I have a tall rolling cart for sorting I can stand at this helps. I can get through some items a small box, basket or container at a time, as I find homes for things it will be great to move things around from one area to the other. I am trying to create a more fun space. I know that this is a work in process but for now just getting through the worst of it and the old stuff out is SO much better. It is looking more streamlined and brighter that makes it flow better.  This is a process, and a journey for me that is for sure.

I planted the rose I got from the company hubby worked for today. I cried it felt like letting go. Tears are healing so counting that for self care. Pie helps but not so good for the waist line. Changing my focus to that helped I remember my uncle said he only liked three kinds of pie hot warm and cold. Maybe you can bake some one a pie! Maybe Friday is pie day! Pizza pie counts!

I have been working with the dog running or walking beside me on a leash while I ride my bike or our daughter, or the grand kids, the dog is doing great with this. The dog got out when she does this I just open up the rig up and she jumps in and give her a ride around the block. She loves getting to go some where dog like to have a jaunt in the neighborhood also.

Other thoughts :
I read that suicides are up because of this cv - 19 check on your friends and family. Maybe you can send a card and brighten someones day.

I have been thinking what to do after the restrictions are lifted. One thing I have not been able to do that I need to is to take out some clutter donations, or go to the dump both are closed to the public now. But it seems like a month away from what I can understand. I think there is a strain of the cv-19 that came from china to Washington state and the west coast, and a diff. strain that came from Italy or some where else that hit New York but that is just my opinion. In any case it sucks to be over town and the only have drive through for food and lack of access to restrooms there at parks etc. is not good.
